With 11 minutes left in the race, the 75th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans went to the green flag and it will be interesting to see if the Audi that is leading the race does anything but just cruise home to the victory. The last remaining Peugeot is still sidelined.
Noone really seems to be crazy enough to “put their foot into it” and it would seem that the race as a Sunday drive. It is too bad — but there is nothing to race for as the Audi is far enough ahead that noone can really catch him in the time remaining.
As was mentioned in earlier post, to finish first, first you must finish!

With 49 minutes left in the race officials of the 24 Hours of Le Mans decided to bring out the yellow flag because of standing water and small rivelets on the track that made the track too dangerous for racing.
There are unconfirmed reports that the remaining Peugeot is having signficant difficulties in returning the fray due to oil in the engine bay.

With two hours to go in the 75th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, mother nature has trumped the race again by showering the course with rain and forcing teams to the pits to make the change to race tires.
Audi was first to the pits for the tire change, causing a slight stire — at least with the PA announcer. Peugeot followed and now the waiting game continues as every turn is not a possible trap waiting to spin an unlkely suspect off the course and into the wall.
Audi also announced that it did not think that there was an issue with the crew putting the wheel on improper since the driver had put 57 minutes of seat time on the car before it let go.
